Air Travel Future in 2022

 

What is the future of air trave,

l what will air travel look like in 2035 and beyond as a futurist,

we look at future trends and look at the six key trends in the aviation industry and how the flying experience will change over the next few decades.

Air treble has a reputation for being crammed and uncomfortable and expensive particularly at peak time,

air  travel is also a major contributor of greenhouse gases that cause climate change

but major changes are happening to air travel,

I hope that they will mean traveling by plane will be more affordable more comfortable and more environmentally friendly,

here are some ways that air  travel will change in the future,

 

1 -  Hydrogen powered planes

Aviation is currently responsible for just under four percent of the eu's greenhouse gas emissions due to the fact that modern planes use kerosene as fuel.

A recent report suggested that hydrogen-powered aeroplanes could enter the request.

As soon as 2035 and those planes would carry hundreds more passengers per flight than traditional planes with a very clean energy source that just produces water.

 

2 - Wing design.

 

A amalgamated sect design combines the sect and the fuselage into a single unit.

the entire aircraft provides the lift for the flight and delta wings like those

used on the concord and high-speed military jet,

may also be incorporated into commercial planes for example,

klm is also working with delft university of technology on a flying v plane that has passenger cabins down each side of the v-shaped aircraft the company claims.

that this type of plane could offer 20 percent more fuel efficiency than an airbus a350.

 

3 - Futuristic Cabin Design

 

Airlines are constantly looking for ways to maximize the amount of people,

they can put on each flight without sacrificing the comfort for passengers and in the futur,

we may see advancements similar as double-decker frugality seats.

that promise more space for riders paired with increased capacity for airlines.

i've even seen really interesting business class pots that give you complete spac,

it  can again be stacked horizontally

 

4 - Air Taxis

Have you been craving to ride in a flying auto,

that feels like we're going straight back to back to the future or,

the jetsons aviation companies are researching uh ways to shift local transportation from the road to the air with especially with electrically powered air taxis for short flights in 2017.

for example,

Volocopter completed their maiden flight for electrified individual air transport and the lilium jet from munich is reported to be able to fly 300 kilometers per hour.

so they have a five-seater air taxi that could start operating as early as 2025 and traveling by air taxi could be as common as traveling by subway,

or

road in major cities today autonomous air taxis may follow shortly after astechnology continues to evolve.

 

5 - Supersonic Flights

united plans to buy 50 new supersonic airliners and hopes to return supersonic speeds to aviation by the year 2029 previous supersonic passenger flights ended in 2012 in 2003.

When british airways and air france retired the concorde and the differentdefinition of supersonic flight,

Basically when an aircraft travels faster than the speed of sound which is more than a thousand kilometers per hour or 660 miles per hour,

so super fast it could mean we could cross the atlantic in just a few hour.

 

6 - Better in-Flight Entertainment,

 

In-flight entertainment options of the future will include more screens more gaming and even the ability to take an e-course during your flight companies,

like panasonic are also developing ways for passengers to improve wellness on flights by setting up lighting toregulate circadian rhythms on on long-haul flights and dampening cabin cabin noise to promote better sleep.

one area i'm particularly excited about is virtual reality and augmented reality,

and companies are anxious to give travelers,

this more immersive experience in flights,

i've recently written about the latest htc lightweight headset that gives people virtual reality experiences.

So you can connect it to the phone and then you have a whole cinema experience on a plane and alas alaska airlines and british airways.

For example,

have already tried skylights vr headset in first class cabins on selected routes,

So we are going to see a much a lot more of this as development of this whole metaverse continue,

there will be huge opportunities for passengers to experience this immersive watching gaming and everything else in flights.
